One Team Approach Mindset

Reverse augmented team teams are the ideal introduction to a dedicated team, allowing Godel to understand your domain and build the core team.

 

Godel team members embed into your existing in-house teams, often across multiple streams/product teams. We fully adhere to your processes and standards with the Godel team centred around your tech leads whilst being supported by the Godel Agile Delivery Coordinator and people partners.

 

At Godel we have developed an on-boarding process which allows your Godel team members to build up knowledge of your systems, your business domain and your overall mission very quickly. Our ability to digest information is one of our family’s strengths, with this having been highlighted consistently within client feedback sessions.

 

We recognise it is of utmost importance that your Godel team members become part of your own in-house delivery team, rather than acting as a third party organisation. In doing this, it removes the barriers normally identified when trying to run distributed agile, which allows the joint ‘one team’ to focus on delivery.

 

Teams are also brought together in a variety of softer ways. Softer elements such as ‘Release Parties’, ‘Team Bonding’, ‘Cultural Workshops’ and team member visits to each location – all of which allow the communication gaps to be bridged to ensure that the team members build a positive relationship with each other.

How Is Team Management Handled?

The management of the team members is done in collaboration with our clients in order to ensure both parties look to build an overall “one team” view.

 

Once we have been through a successful on-boarding process and we have defined the metrics involved in the measurement of teams, our team are fully focused and accountable for the measurement and management of performance and retention.

 

Everyday stand up’s, regular reviews and retrospectives around performance take place in order to polish the delivery process and ensure there is clarity every step of the way. Reporting is also set in place to ensure that there is visibility around delivery and performance.

 

Our approach to this has been honed over many years in working with clients and you can be sure that your team members will feel empowered, measured and that there is a commitment to deliver the level of quality and the bar you set of your own in-house team members.

 

Godel team members can fully adapt to your existing in-house process and usage of tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, Slack, Teams, etc.) in order to ensure that the process of introducing our team members is as seamless as possible for your own team.

Dunnhumby

There are huge shifts happening in the retail industry driven by the uptake of mobile technology, the growth of social platforms and increased human-connectedness. For retailers to build their competitive advantage they need to understand the consumer, whilst finding ways to improve their price image and overall value proposition.

 

Price and promotion are two of the most important levers that a retailer can pull. But doing this right isn’t easy: competition is fierce as discounters and pure online retailers grow, and price transparency is greater than ever. To build loyalty, it’s crucial to strengthen customer price perception without reducing prices so low that you limit financial growth — or worse.
